That kid is a master manipulator.

And if I didn't know Dillon better I'd swear he's practically trans.

Jacob is obnoxiously good at manipulating adults through their susceptibilities, for his age. And Dillon is (a) a terrible wimp (they're only crickets, ferrpetesake, does he have to be such a ... let's just say "stereotype"?), and (b) easily manipulated.

Meanwhile, I hope that Ruby is swinging herself a temporary job sorting out the shop's books or something. It'd be some reason why this sequence is going to be inserted into the plot, and if she's going to suffer from her own girlie susceptibilities, she ought at least to be able to turn it to some advantage. And if Richie starts getting fond of her, we'd at least get some of Dillon being sulky and jealous instead of him being a full-time smart-arse.

Wow. Ruby learns quickly. I hope she gets the guy.

Then has a double date with Dillon and Jerzey.

You mean the cute, sweet smile? The relaxed body language?

Note the kitten. Subtract that and she'd be back where she was before.

Hooray it's Dillon's turn to be the buttmonkey! :))

Ruby and the kitten are going to give me a tooth ache from all the sweetness but I don't care. :x

He's using Richie as bait. Does that make him a master baiter?

This kid is a master troll.

Also, I have no idea why you would try to pick up crickets with your bare hands. Something like a little net would be much more useful for transporting them into a container.

Ritchie gets props for knowing how you sell pets, although if his conversation with Ruby reveals her current unemployment we may start seeing the slightly unusual referrals I keep expecting her to get.

He's just effeminate and proud. He really likes to play into the stereotype.

Oh, I know...it's just that there comes that point where there is that thin little line between being a Senna and being a Dillon :p
